Good point.  But, someone is sure to complain that the normal uses of  
the opcode do not allow null.  Then we get around to those other  
designs we talked about at the Summit, where the metaobject is passed  
as the receiver.  This is clever, but it optimizes the slow path  
instead of the fast path, so I don't think that's what we want.
